		<description>Something that I just saw in the news today:

&quot;When G20 finance ministers meet in Toronto this summer the price tag is expected to reach $150 million, most of which will be paid by the federal government, CTV News has learned. 

According to documents tabled for city councillors and obtained by CTV, the federal government will be required to foot $143 million of the bill. 

Toronto will pay the remaining $7 million.&quot;

That&#039;s all taxpayer money, of course.  Do you really think the influx of visitors will bring in $150 million over the course of 1 weekend?  It&#039;s not Disneyworld - the visitors are either here on business if they&#039;re from the media, or they&#039;re here to protest.  People on business and people visiting to protest don&#039;t spend tons of money.</description>
